In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C(7)H(10)O(4))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]·6H(2)O, the Zn(II) atom is coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms of a mono-bidentate chelating pimelate anion (pimelic acid is hepta-nedioic acid) and four N atoms of two phenanthroline ligands, forming a considerably distorted octa-hedral ZnN(4)O(2) coordination geometry. The complexes are assembled into a three-dimensional network via C-H⋯O, C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions. The mean inter-planar distance betwee ...[more]
